I have been drinking a lot more liquids these days and I occasionally I need a break from water, decaf tea and milk. I recently found a low-calorie, naturally-sweetened lemonade water flavoring and I have enjoyed using it for a different taste once in a while!

](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2011/03/100_8734-100105.html)While doing a little work looking into the stevia plant and the Truvia brand, I found Nature's Splash Lemonade packets. I was a Crystal Lite fan in the past but I have eliminated artificial sweeteners from my diet so I don't use them anymore. I was thrilled to see that there is something similar available, but more natural! These Nature's Splash packets are not zero calories like Crystal Lite but they are still low at 50 kcals per one packet. It's recommended to use one packet in 16 ounces of water but I am actually perfectly satisfied with just half of one - whichever your tastebuds prefer is fine.

I am still a little cautious with my use of stevia since it has just recently been approved by the FDA, but I do like these packets as an alternative to other chemical artificial sweeteners. I use them maybe once a week for a little change and I think they will be great in the summer when the weather gets hot!
